Software Engineer in the Denver Metropolitan Area
About
Who I am
Get to know me on a more personal level than what is on my resume.
I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Colorado State University in May of 2020. My entire life, I have enjoyed solving puzzles and learning how things work. I am passionate about software because it allows me to do that while making a significant positive impact on the lives of people around me. One day, I hope that I can utilize it to improve the lives of people in my community and the world. Right now, my focus is simply on learning as much as possible so that I will be ready for that opportunity when it comes.
In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports (especially basketball), listening to music, and spending time with my family. I am a fan of the Green Bay Packers (sorry Broncos fans), the Denver Nuggets, and the Colorado Rockies. Some of my favorite musical artists are NF, Lorde, Kanye West, Billie Eilish, and the Beatles. I also recently finished watching every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in order.
